Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta
Geto Boys Lyrics

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Being a gangsta is a good feeling

A real gangsta-ass nigga plays his cards right
A true gangsta knows how to make good decisions

A real gangsta-ass nigga never runs his fucking mouth
A true gangsta does not talk unnecessarily

'Cause real gangsta-ass niggas don't start fights
Genuine gangstas do not initiate fights

And niggas always gotta high cap
Fake gangstas like to show off their guns

Showing all his boys how he shot 'em
Fake gangstas show off by explaining how they shot someone

But real gangsta-ass niggas don't flex nuts
Real gangstas do not boast about their accomplishments

'Cause real gangsta-ass niggas know they got 'em
True gangstas are confident in their abilities

And everything's cool in the mind of a gangsta
Gangstas can stay calm despite difficult situations

'Cause gangsta-ass niggas think deep
Genuine gangstas are not shallow thinkers

Up three-sixty-five ayo 24/7
Gangstas are alert all day, every day

'Cause real gangsta-ass niggas don't sleep
True gangstas do not waste time sleeping

And all I gotta say to you
The following message is directed towards you

Wannabe, gonnabe, cock sucking, pussy-eating pranksters
Fake gangstas and people who pretend to be gangstas

Is when the fire dies down what the fuck you gonna do
What will fake gangstas do when the going gets tough?

Feeding the poor and helping out with their bills
Gangstas can be generous and help those in need

Although I was born in Jamaica
The artist is from Jamaica

Now I'm in the U.S. making deals
The singer is now in America and is making deals

I mean one that you don't really know
The singer is a gangsta, but not a well-known one

Riding around town in a drop-top Benz
The artist enjoys cruising around town in a fancy car

Hitting switches in my black '64
Gangstas can modify their car for aesthetic and performance reasons

Now gangsta-ass niggas come in all shapes and colors
Gangstas can be anyone, regardless of their appearance

Some got killed in the past
Some gangstas have died in the line of duty

But this gangsta here was a smart one
The artist is a smart gangsta

Started living for the Lord and I'll last
The singer turned his life around and now lives for God

When the shit jumps off what the fuck you gonna do
What will fake gangstas do when things get violent?

A real gangsta-ass nigga knows the play
True gangstas know the rules of the game

The real gangsta-ass niggas get the flyest of the bitches
Real gangstas can attract the most desirable women

Ask that gangsta-ass nigga Little Jake
There is a gangsta named Little Jake who can verify this

Now bitches look at gangsta-ass niggas like a stop sign
Women are cautious around gangstas

And play the role of Little Miss Sweet
Women may pretend to be sweet and innocent

But catch the bitch all alone get the digits, take her out
However, gangstas may still be able to seduce women

And end up hittin' the ass with the meat
They may end up having sex with them

And everythings quiet in the clique
In the gangsta world, silence is important among members

A gangsta-ass nigga pulls the trigger
A true gangsta is not afraid to use their gun

And his partners in the posse ain't tellin' off shit
Other gangstas will keep secrets and not snitch

Real gangsta-ass niggas don't talk much
Genuine gangstas are not talkative

All ya hear is the black from the gun blast
When a real gangsta shoots their gun, all you will hear is the sound of the shot

'Cause real gangsta-ass niggas can't run fast
True gangstas cannot run very quickly due to their lifestyle choices

Now when you in the free world talkin' shit do the shit
If you are going to talk badly about someone, be prepared to do something about it

Hit the pen and let a mothafucka shank ya
If you are not prepared to back up your words, you may face violence in prison

But niggas like myself kick back and peep game
Real gangstas stay calm and watch from a distance

Gettin' voted into the White House
The singer has been elected as the President of the United States

Everything lookin' good to the people of the world
The people believe that the President is doing a good job

But the Mafia family is my boss
The President has a secret, criminal employer

So every now and then I owe a favor gettin' down
The President must do the Mafia's bidding from time to time

Like lettin' a big drug shipment through
The President may allow drugs to pass through customs

And send 'em to the poor community
The drugs may be distributed to communities in need

So we can bust you know who
This plan will help law enforcement catch a criminal

So voters of the world keep supportin' me
The President is asking for continued support from voters

And I promise to take you very far
The President promises to lead the country to great heights

Other leaders better not upset me
The President warns other leaders not to anger him

Or I'll send a million troops to die at war
The President threatens to send troops to war if provoked

To all you Republicans, that helped me win
The President thanks the Republicans who helped him win the election

I sincerely like to thank you
The President is expressing genuine gratitude

'Cause now I got the world swingin' from my nuts
The President has a lot of power and influence now

And damn it feels good to be a gangsta
The President feels powerful like a gangsta would
